2009 PBA Geico Plastic Ball Championship - Michael Fagan vs. Jeff Carter (Part 1)

Here we go to the second match between Jeff Carter and Michael Fagan. I must say I can't believe how Fagan can get the ball back from where he puts it.

Enjoy :)

is michael fagan using the sarge easter on the ball?

[bowlerdude]

Jeff Carter has a compact form that is pleasing to the eye.

anyone know where Fagans shirt is available?

this is where fagan's weird axis rotation and tilt hurt him. He didn't have the heavy roll that carter did, and thats what you want when rolling plastic. a really heavy end over end roll to make it face up.

Sarge Easter grip will cut down on revs when you first start out with the grip, but once you get used to it you should be able to get the same rev rate with sarge Easter then regular fingertip. Sarge Easter is best for high rev players that when they have normal axis rotation from fingertip that their ball overreacts and has to much ball continuation on the backend. Sarge Easter gives that player a lot more controllable backend motion that will keep their ball from overreacting on the backend.

@thedoc56

You're right that it affects the axis tilt and makes the ball go end over end, but where did you get your source that it reduces your rev rate by "prob 20rpm"? I've not been able to find any good data to suggest that it reduces rev rate at all.

[thedoc56]

@Fukkensaved It only reduces it a little. prob a 20rpm difference. mostly effects axis tilt and rotation

[Fukkensaved]

@thedoc56

Maybe if you're just getting used to it, it will reduce your rev rate, but I guarantee you that Mike Fagan has the same rev rate with sarge-easter that he has with finger-tip.

[thedoc56]

@Fukkensaved yeah it does. not a lot though. it mostly changes the axis tilt

[Fukkensaved]

@codeman9010

Sarge-easter doesn't reduce rev rate at all.

[codeman9010]

im surprised he went with the srg easter grip with plastic. i would think he would go both finger tip to get more revs. maybe just a comfort thing?
